The $5 Rock & Roll Show 1979

Over at the Wilfully Obscure Blog page, I found this great radio concert. ONE concert from the Paladium in NY, 1979, featuring 4 power pop bands! It features The Beat, The Sinceros, 20-20, and a VERY rare few songs live from Bruce Woolley & The Camera Club! So go visit Wilfully Obscure by clicking on the picture and grab that concert, it's great! Tell them Power Population sent you!
